Trail'st thou the puissant pike? (Henry V)

 Next year is the 40th anniversary of me being a reenactor. It was the Monmouth Rebellion tercentenary that made me make the leap. At the time I was more interested in the 30 years war than the Civil War but Frome where I lived had a vibrant E.C.W. scene and that made a difference. The people who I joined up with (Devereux's) were wargamers too so I used to go to conventions and War games weekends in Swindon. This pic is later -  I am 2nd from the right. pic Tony Spence.
